what: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius

Messenger planetary station goes retrograde again November 25thwreaking familiar havoc on our communications and technological efforts. And now it’s back in Sagittarius.
This fire sign is a student, professor, explorer, and clown of this sign, philosophical, freedom-seeking, and often very outspoken. Mercury is considered to have a negative influence in Sagittarius, which means that Mercury is not functioning at optimal levels in this sign. Mercury is analytical and insightful, preferring to be left-brained and precise, while Sagittarius is open-minded, quick, loose with details, easily gets caught up in the thrill of the moment, and sometimes lacks courtesy. Tends to sacrifice. When a planet is in a hostile situation, it may struggle to reach its full potential, but it shows extraordinary talent and devises fresh and novel approaches to the planet’s concerns in question. There is also.
When Mercury is retrograde in this mutable sign, it reminds you to fact-check and tact before expressing your thoughts. The words that burn on the tip of your tongue may sound perfectly reasonable in your head, but then they may come out in a vengeance. Celestial centaurs are instinctively honest, so that’s not a bad thing, but telling the whole truth without reading the room can get you in trouble. Be strategic and thoughtful in sharing what’s on your mind before you hit “send.” This will help you get your point across more effectively. And with Mercury Station’s instructions, you’ll have fewer regrets.

When in doubt, play the fool

Whether it’s postponing an impromptu trip you’ve been planning or refraining from stirring the pot in the comments section of an inflammatory article, self-control is your friend. But when it comes to goofing around and the universe itself seems to be thwarting your best laid plans, you have a superpower at your disposal: your sense of humor.
